Tod Wilson, the owner of Mr. Tod’s Pie Factory in Englewood, who appeared in an episode of the ABC reality show “Shark Tank” was arrested at his business Wednesday, authorities said.

Wilson was arrested on witness tampering charges, said Police Capt. Timothy Torrell in a release. The charges stemmed from statements Wilson made to a city code enforcement officer after he was issued violations relating to the signing of his business.

An employee at the West Hudson Street store said Wednesday that Wilson was not in the office and is expected to return Thursday.

According to Wilson’s website, Mr. Tod’s Pie Factory was founded in 2002 as a bakery in Somerset. The store specializes in pies being made from scratch.

In 2009, Wilson won as a contestant on the reality show “Shark Tark.”

"It's a family recipe," Wilson told the judges when he was featured on the "Shark Tank" episode about his sweet potato pie.

Wilson told the judges on the "Shark Tank" show he wanted to get into his own business.

"My first time out, I got an MBA in the streets when I realized I started off too big too soon," Wilson said on the show. "I spent the next four months living in my car. I regrouped, got myself back together and I said ‘Lord give me another chance,’ and within six, seven years later, I’ve got two locations and a booming wholesale business."

Celebrities such as singer Alicia Keys have been known to enjoy some pies at the store.
